Pronunciation of Aeron: Eye-Ron

Chapter 2: Suck All The Knowledge Out Of Her 

Aeron's POV

The first hour got over sooner than I expected it would. Mr. Kinsley, who will be my Math teacher for the year, said that I am the reason for that, which made me happy, of course. Who wouldn't want the lecture delayed a minute or two because of them? In my case, it was 15 minutes. Hey, but who cares.

"That's it for the day," He concluded three minutes before the bell rang. "Come, Raiden. Let's go," He then said, making some of the students laugh.

"Do I really have to?" Raiden pouted from his seat.

"Yes," Mr. K said firmly. "Maybe if you behave, I may reduce the duration."

"Yes!" Raiden whooped in response before collecting his items.

"We will miss you, Raiden," Some of the guys shouted.

"Goodbye, cruel class," He huffed, "This is not a goodbye, but a 'see you soon', "he wiped his crocodile tears and following Mr. K to god knows where.

That is when I noticed that the teacher for the next hour had already arrived. Even before the bell had rung. What the . . .

Don't we have a break? At least for water!

I look around the class to see that no one is batting an eye at the fact that the next hour's teacher had already arrived, and is now chatting with Mr. K.

Maybe it is a regular occurrence.

However, my main concern now is water. All the tour, self-introductions, and everything had made my throat dry. I look around frantically for any source of water.

Okay, maybe not any source.

"Here," A voice said from beside me, holding out a water bottle in my direction.

"Thanks," I replied gratefully, taking a sip, "Was I that obvious?" I asked in a low voice.

"No," She laughed, "I am Daisy, by the way," She smiled. "Aeron, right? Cool name."

"Thanks," I replied, smiling back and returning the bottle back to her.

"Is this normal?" I query a few seconds later, pointing to the teacher who had already arrived.

"Yes. You didn't know?" She asked in confusion. "They do this to avoid any of us creating commotion," She rolled her eyes.

Not that we are going to kill each other.

Which had happened before. So, I guess they can't really be blamed for being cautious.

I hummed in response, grabbing my bag on the floor to pull out the books I needed for the hour.

"What you did at the beginning of class was awesome." She remarked, her voice radiating awe and disbelief.

Even I can't believe that.

"What did I do?" I finally find the book I was searching for and placed it on my desk.

"Are you kidding me? Talking back to Mr. K like that. No one has ever done that, well,l maybe except Raiden." Another voice said from behind Daisy. "Hey, Aeron. I am Emily"

"Which earned him a week detention," Daisy replied making both of them laugh.

"I am sorry, who?" I asked, knowing full well who they were referring to.

"Raiden," She said rolling her eyes as if that would explain me everything.

I just raised my brow in question, making Emily facepalm.

"Oh, right, you are new. I almost forgot," She smiled sheepishly.

Almost?

Wow, these people welcome soon.

"Did you see the one who walked out with Mr. K?" Daisy asked. I nodded in reply. "That's Raiden."

"Oh," I nodded as if hearing that name for the first time.

"But why? I mean, Detention on the first day of school?" I asked in confusion. "That is not normal, right?"

And nope, before you ask, I didn't know that.

"Oh, that's a long story involving him and Jasper there," She replied pointing out to someone.

Him.

"Hm, who is he then?"I asked, wanting to know more about him from others.

"That is Jasper Fleming, The golden boy of the school. He was elected to be the President of the Student Committee this year," Daisy said quietly, "Rumour states that he refused the post," She continued disappointedly.

"Why would he do that?"

How did I not know about this?

"Because everyone says he is still heartbroken after breaking up with his boyfriend of three years," Emily said shrugging, making my heart drop.

Heartbroken?

"Which is bullshit," Daisy injected in a flat tone.

"Yeah. Jasper does not appear to be sad or anything. I mean they are OTP since our freshman year," A new voice wondered from behind me, but I was too occupied with my thoughts and the girls' voices, to acknowledge him.

"No one has ever seen him, Kevin. Not even his best friends. Hell, we don't even know his name," Emily argued.

"His friends do, it starts with M I think. Michael, maybe?"

Before they can question my lack of response, the teacher started introducing herself; her name, her studies, experience, and email-Id for reference, which I noted absentmindedly.

My phone vibrated in my pocket snapping me out of the trance and making me look around.

I shook my head and took the phone from the pocket. A text message from him. I glance around - sneakily, I might add - to make sure that no one is looking before I read it.

Are you okay?

How did he know? I looked back at him, to see that he was watching me with more concern than before; I turned back and nodded before typing my reply.

I'm good, don't worry about me.

It is in my job description to do so ;)

His reply was instant. Before I could reply, I realized the teacher was looking directly at me in question, making me stuff my phone back in my pocket as fast as I could.

She gave me a kind smile, "Hello, there." She reminded me of Aunt May from the Spiderman movie.

Not Tom Holland's Homecoming.

But the Aunt May from the Tobey Maguire's Spiderman. 

Not that old, though.

She looked like she was in her early 50s; more experienced than any other teacher I had. Looking at her made me want to go sit with her and talk for hours. Suck all the knowledge out of her like Pishtaco.

"Hey, Mrs. Hendricks. We met last week," I started smiling.

"I remember. How do you like it so far?"

"It's good," I reply to which she gave me a knowing smile.

Mrs. Hendricks is one of the few people who knows the exact reason I am here.

Her teaching was different from anyone, ever. It was like I couldn't focus on anything else. It would be wrong to say this but she was like a siren that made everyone follow her without question. I'm sure that I am going to ace her paper without much effort.

When there was still 10 minutes before the bell, she said that she was done for the hour and we can do whatever we want but without any disturbances, as she had some other work to do.

Fair deal

So wanting to know more about them from Daisy, I turned to her "So tell me more about them," I insisted nodding my head in their direction.

Jasper and his best friends.

"Well for starters, all three of them are filthy fucking rich.," She emphasized sarcastically, as if not believing her own words, "I still have a hard time believing that."

"Three?"

"Including Clayton with him there," Kevin said softly. "That's because they're not the stereotypical rich, bad boys you read in books, Daisy,"

"I know, sometimes I have a hard time believing they are even real."

Oh the voice from behind me before, was Kevin. He introduced himself when I asked for an eraser.

As the bell for break rung, the teacher left reminding us one last time to do our homework without fail.

"I have to get the material for next hour", Daisy stood up from her seat walking out of the class.

"Me too", I followed her to my locker and replaced my books.

As I walked back to the class, to my seat, Raiden walked past me deep into the class, looking determined and a bit angry. He walked straight to Jasper who was still in his chair, busy with a file in his hand.

Seeing the arrival of Raiden, Clayton stood up and joined him. Both of them narrowed their eyes at Jasper as if they are waiting for some answer.

Jasper frowned in confusion, looking at them, "What?"

"Explain," Raiden asked tapping his shoes. Now, almost everyone is looking at Jasper for some kind of answer.

What the hell is happening here?

"Explain what?" He replied casually, looking back to the file in his hand.

"Where were you this summer?" Raiden demanded making Jasper freeze.

Along with me

"Um, nowhere, I was just busy helping dad in his work", Jasper stammered dismissively.

"Really? So nothing happened?."

"Yeah, Everything is fine."

"Come on, Jasper. You can't disappear in the middle of the school day, miss our Junior Prom, Go MIA the entire summer and come back to tell us that everything is fine," Clayton said.

"We are your friends, Jas," Raiden said softly making everyone nod.

"Jasper?" A familiar voice interfered, making all of us turn toward the door.

Hayley.

"Oh, Hey, Hayley," Jasper replied avoiding his friends who were waiting for his response.

"Mr.Taylor is looking for us," She said before looking around class, "Hey Aeron", she waved excitedly making all eyes snap to mine now, "Is everything okay, here?"

"Yes, I'll be there," Jasper answered, picking up the file and putting it into his bag, following her.

"We are not finished Jasper," Clayton declared frustratedly.

"I know", He acknowledged as he left the room.

"Really? That's his answer!" Raiden exclaimed throwing his hands in annoyance.

"See, something clearly happened," Emily whispered from behind me.

The next two hours and a break in between flashed before I know it was Lunch. I was thankful for that. The entire class was still gossiping about Jasper's so-called breakup.

Jasper didn't return to class the next time, obviously to avoid his friends and classmates. But Mr. Williams said that the Student Committee is doing something for the first assembly of the year, but no one seemed to believe him.

I was collecting my things to leave, when Kevin walked to me, " Aeron. Come on, we will take you to the lunch hall."

"Um, I'd love to guys, but Mr. Taylor asked me to meet him during lunch, I don't why. I will join you tomorrow," I lied, which seemed to convince them.

I walked out of the classroom and found the stairs that will take me to the third floor. But before I could take a step, I found a lift and looked around and when no one seemed to look in my direction, I got in silently and pressed the button for the third floor.

Third floor, east wing.

As I reached the third floor, I walked around a bit to the east wing, I've heard so much about in the past.

"Wow," The words left my mouth as soon as I reached there. It does not have any flowerpots or greenhouse like a clichéd school rooftop. But a beautiful view of the lake located back side of the school. The entire place felt like nature and life. The afternoon sun beaming didn't hurt my skin as the breeze from the lake came down soothing any burn.

"What are you doing here?" A voice demanded from behind making to jump slightly. I didn't have to turn to see who the voice belongs to.

I turned to him. "What are you doing here?" I countered.

"I come here when I want to escape and you kn-," He stopped himself as his eyes widened slightly in realization.

I turned my back to him and took a deep breath closing my eyes as the pure air entered my lungs, relaxing me from all the nerves I felt since the morning.

"Beautiful, isn't it?"

I opened my eyes and nodded in reply stuffing my hand in my pocket, my back still facing him.

"So, why are you here?" I heard him ask a minute or two later from a distance closer than before.

"To escape," I stated his words.

"Why?"

I just shrugged in reply."I heard you broke up with your boyfriend."

He chuckled, "That's not true."

"That's not what everyone is saying," I remarked as a gush of wind passed us, making me shiver.

"What are they saying then?" he asked curiously with humor still laced in his tone.

"Like he wasn't good enough for you. You deserved better, so you broke up with him and you don't have a boyfriend anymore," I babbled, hiding the pain in my voice as much as I could.

"There is one truth there though," He pointed out making me snap my head in his direction in shock, "I don't have a boyfriend, anymore."

What??!

"But that doesn't mean that I broke up with him", He said advancing to me, making my lips twitch a little as I understood the meaning behind his words, but I held my ground.

"Uh-huh, "I looked away from him to avoid his eyes.

His fingers came under the chin making my breath hitch, turning my head to face him. I looked up at his electric blue eyes, that held so much emotion. That I can read like the back of my hand.

That I loved so much

"What? You don't believe me?" he whispered his breath mixing with mine. He then raised his eyebrows, looking into my eyes, "Do you want me to prove it to you?"

"Okay, prove it," I whispered back, my eyes traveled from his eyes to his lips.

His face was now so close to mine but his lips. God, his lips, felt a lifetime away. And I need them bad.

so bad

"Are you sure?"

Yes, please

"Yes, Mr. Jasper Wheeler-Feming, "I breathed.

"Your wish is my command, Mr. Aeron Wheeler-Fleming. My husband," He declared proudly making my heart swell in love and happiness, smashing his lips to mine.
